       5. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 detect an absence start time at which the participant has left halfway through the online meeting and an absence end time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting; and 
 determine the absent period and the remaining time by using the detected absence start time and the detected absence end time. 
 
     
     
       6. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the remaining time is represented by a ratio between a period of time from the start time of the online meeting to a time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting and a period of time from the time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting to the end time of the online meeting. 
     
     
       7. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 detect an absence start time at which the participant has left halfway through the online meeting and an absence end time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting; and 
 determine the absent period and the remaining time by using the detected absence start time and the detected absence end time. 
 
     
     
       8. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the remaining time is represented by a ratio between a period of time from the start time of the online meeting to a time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting and a period of time from the time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting to the end time of the online meeting. 
     
     
       9. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 detect an absence start time at which the participant has left halfway through the online meeting and an absence end time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting; and 
 determine the absent period and the remaining time by using the detected absence start time and the detected absence end time. 
 
     
     
       10. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 detect an absence start time at which the participant has left halfway through the online meeting and an absence end time at which the participant has returned to the online meeting; and 
 determine the absent period and the remaining time by using the detected absence start time and the detected absence end time. 
 
     
     
       11. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to detect the absence start time and the absence end time in response to receiving specifying of the absence start time and the absence end time from the participant. 
     
     
       12. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the specifying of the absence start time and the absence end time from the participant via a user interface screen. 
     
     
       13. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 receive in advance a scheduled time interval for which the participant is planning to be absent from the online meeting; and 
 determine the absent period and the remaining time by using the received scheduled time interval. 
 
     
     
       14. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to start creating the content presentation information while the participant is absent from the online meeting. 
     
     
       15. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to use, for the content presentation information, information in a format that requires a longer processing time to create, as the absent period is longer and as the remaining time is longer. 
     
     
       16. An information processing method comprising:
 obtaining a start time and an end time of an online meeting; 
 obtaining when a participant has left halfway during the online meeting, an absent period of the participant and a remaining time of the online meeting,

 wherein the remaining time is a time from when the participant returns to the online meeting until the end time of the online meeting, and 
 wherein the online meeting is a meeting conducted via a communication network; and 
 
 switching a format of content presentation information to be presented to the participant having left halfway through the online meeting in accordance with a combination of a time length of the obtained absent period and a time length of the obtained remaining time,
 wherein the content presentation information is information on content of the online meeting during the absent period of the participant. 
 
 
     
     
       17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
 obtaining a start time and an end time of an online meeting; 
 obtaining when a participant has left halfway during the online meeting, an absent period of the participant and a remaining time of the online meeting,
 wherein the absent period is a period of time for which the participant is absent after the participant has left the online meeting, 
 wherein the remaining time is a time from when the participant returns to the online meeting until an end time of the online meeting, and
